# anchors

The list of anchors representing positions tracked or objects detected in the scene.

```
var anchors: [ARAnchor] { get }
```

## Discussion

You can manually add or remove anchors to track locations in the scene using the [`ARSession`](/documentation/ARKit/ARSession) class. Depending on session configuration, ARKit may also add anchors, such as the origin of the world coordinate system or automatically detected planes.
